The Green Energy Fair will be going on upstairs in the ballroom of the Middleboro Town Hall on Saturday, Nov. 6, from 10 to 2. At the same time, part of the Town Hall parking lot will be given over to the Soule Homestead's Electronics recycling event.

MIDDLEBORO — In addition to learning how to cut down home energy use, improve insulation, generate alternative energy, and improve the environment, there will be an opportunity to recycle most electrical devices. The Green Energy Fair will be going on upstairs in the ballroom of the Middleboro Town Hall on Saturday, Nov. 6, from 10 to 2. At the same time, part of the Town Hall parking lot will be given over to the Soule Homestead's Electronics recycling event.

"This recycling effort will take just about anything that you can plug in," said a Soule spokesman. "Often, these electronic recycling times are very limited. Not this one. We will take old TVs, computers and all their various parts, all the little electronic devices and chargers, as well as big electric appliances."

Dish washers, electric stoves, dehumidifiers, even refrigerators are welcome. Most items have a $5 or $10 recycling charge. Some larger items are more. All funds collected will help support the Soule Homestead's educational programs.

The Green Energy Fair is free to all and over 20 information and services providers will be on hand. The GEF is being sponsored by the Middleboro Green Energy Committee and a spokesperson said, "Join us on Nov. 6 and learn how to stay warm this winter while saving money and helping the environment."

The Soule Homestead volunteers are also accepting clean redeemable bottles and cans. Visit their website, www.soulehomestead.org, for a complete list of items and prices or call 508-947-6744 for more information.
